SHU9922UC doesn't get rid of water

I own a SHU9922UC, recently we started to have a bad smell coming from the unit. I went ahead and pulled it out, there is one hose on the back of the unit that was stuffed with mucus looking goo and it smelt horrible! Any idea what could cause this or what I can do to stop this? All help is greatly appreciated!

1. Air gap / Drain hoses If there is an air gap (located in
the sink, near the faucet), check to see if it is clogged. Unscrew the
top cap and see if there is anything blocking inside. Note: If there is
no air gap installed, the dishwasher might not drain properly.

If the drain hose is clogged, the dishwasher would not drain. If there
is an air gap installed, it is very common that a hose going from the
air gap into the garbage disposer is clogged. Remove and clean the
hose. Make sure to reattach the hose before starting the dishwasher.

Note: If you recently had a garbage disposer installed, it is common to overlook removing the drain plug.

2. Broken belt
Some dishwasher models use a belt to drive the pump. Replace the belt if found broken.

Note: Sometimes the belt would just come off the pump. Even though it
might not be broken, it is recommended that you replace the belt,
because it is probably too stretched out.

3. Pump
Some models have two impellers inside the pump - one, wash impeller,
takes care of the wash cycles, the other, drain impeller, drains the
water out. If the drain impeller is broken (broken blades, shaft), the
dishwasher would not drain. Replace any broken pump components.

When you next get the smell, check the traps to see if there is enough water in there to fill the trap, if one is less then it looks like water is getting sucked out when toilet is flushed or that trap (usually bath or shower) hasn't had water going in (lack of use) and water has partially evaporated.

Sorry but your model number doesn't register with me in the USA. My experience tells me that the plastic water line from the filter to the water tank to the dispenser outlet is your problem. Replace those parts and you should be ok.Hope this helps.

The smell usually comes
when the washer is unable to drain water completely, you can run your washer at
its hottest temperature setting with 1 cup of vinegar inside the unit. After
this take off the bottom front panel and clean it completely, also clean the
drain hose and drain pump filter, the smell should disappear after doing all
this. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

You need to remove any spoiled food from the refrigerator and clean the interiors with hot water added with baking soda. You need to clean the door seals and remove the breaker strips. Also check for unusual wet insulation. Hope this work

Hi. Your landlord is correct. Anode rod can produce rotten-egg smell. Ask him if he can replace the "sacrificial" anode rod with "Power" anode rod or zinc/aluminum rod to get rid of the smell. However, you need to decide whether you tolerate the bad smell produced by anode rod or the minimal toxin produced by zinc/aluminum rod.

You can also try to drain/clean the tank first then add peroxide treatment and see if the smell goes away. If you do this method, the smell is more likely to come back if you go on vacation and left the heater unused for several days.

Many commercial cleansers are good for neutralizing odors, but several common household products can be used as well. Vinegar is an extremely versatile grocery item that neutralizes many odors, including those left behind by pet accidents and skunk sprays.

Baking soda, whether applied dry to an area or mixed and sprayed with warm water, is another effective way to absorb and neutralize household odors. Baking soda carries the added benefit of absorbing moisture, so it often makes a good secondary application for a moist stubborn stain causing an odor. Citrus fruits like lemon and oranges deodorize and leave a pleasant smell behind. Using citrus juice on fabrics is not usually recommended, but they are good for things like running through garbage disposals.

Are you using HE (High Efficiency) detergent in the unit? Most times the odor found in the units is because owners use regular laundry detergent instead of the low sudsing HE type. It is imperative that you use the proper detergent to avoid odor in your unit. Some of the fixes are to run an all bleach cycle with no clothes in the unit. Also, to leave the door to your unit open when not using it or at least cracked to allow the unit to dry out. Make sure to wipe out the gasket of the washer, sometimes trapped water there can also smell over time. Finally, there are some commercial products you can use to lessen or eliminate the smell. Here is a link to one product you can purchase at your local Best Buy™ store. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8550249&type=product&id=1188560830483
